After the French conquered Hanoi in 1872/73, they had the new cathedral built on the site of the former Bao Thien Pagoda. It was completed in 1886. Its architectural model was Notre Dame de Paris.

St. Joseph's Cathedral (Vietnamese: Nhà thờ Lớn Hà Nội) is one of Hanoi's most prominent landmarks and the city's oldest church. It was built in the late 19th century (1886) during the French colonial period and is dedicated to the patron saint of Vietnam, St. Joseph.
